Dubai got Drenched
Days like today don’t deserve just a post. They call for a celebration. And that’s exactly what I had… a celebration!
It has been raining through out the day today. It’s dark, gloomy, damp, squishy, cold. Yet, there are smiles all around (ignore the traffic jams and soiled clothes). It’s an annual event. And it has made people more excited than Dubai Shopping Festival does (confession: I have never been to the Global Village, nor do I intend to in the future).
After a busy day at work, headed for sumptutous lunch, coffee in the open … peacefully reading a book, relaxing with friends while being slouched in a couch, eating a warm choclate chip muffin and watching the drops of water on the glass window trickle down. The ripples in the puddles of water. The splashes by the speeding cars. The waves in mid air by the strong winds. And ending the day with nice, hot and spicy rajma-chawal that mom made :)
Took two videos with my phone. Both look quite similar though.
And a few pics too!
